So you have one computer with two network cards, with one slot going to an internet connection, and the other going to your 2nd pc? I want to make sure I understand the setup first, because this can be answered with several methods depending on how you get internet to the first computer. Is there any particular reason you do not want to use a router/switch setup for a home network?
